What we've done today.......

[Northy]

Today was ace.
We went to buy a new camera for Stu, one ofat'bay. Ya man there who was sellin' it lived in the worlds scruffyest house. He sounded proper posh on't phone, but he were a right scutter. He described his house as "the middle one of three", but really if he had said "the one with the abandoned cars out front and more shrubbery in the gutters than the garden we'd have found it quicker. Once we got talking to him he'd not shut up, he wanted to tell us his life story. Stu paid & we drove off while he has still yakking-on.
We went to ASDA's cafe and had dinner, I had Steak Pie, chips & beans (not heinz), Stu & Julie had sausage dinner.
Then we went to some shops, Stu bought a 2 jumpers and some perfume for his missus for xmas.
We measured alot of things in asda, tins and promo-boards and stuff, it was quite exciting.
We are going to measure a weetabix later and let you know what its critical dimentions are.
Does anyone want us to measure anything in particular?

Northy,

Could you find out how many 'Polo' hole are used in the making of a 'Doughnut' obviously not the jam filled one's...

That would be realy useful for a experiment that i'm currently planing

Chris, thanks for your querie on this imprtant matter.
We have measured 7 peices of string, 4 of which measured approximatly 456.7mm, the other three were under 36mm, so were omitted from our results.
The result was 119.175mm.
Thanks

Dan, thanks for your interest in this mountian climbing expedition. I onve went up one!
We measured several bananas, unfortunatly we gained only spurious reultls from these so we decided to measure pictures & beer instead, we will publish the results soon.

Thanks for your patience in this matter.

I like it when some mad drivers cut accross 3 lanes of motorway traffic at the last second, maybe they will crash.
Trollys with duff wheels are very exciting, you never know if you will have a big run-in with another trolly, or maybe a promo-dasplay.
It's a lottery, I like it ALOT.

Stu wrote all of the above. Mad as a box of frogs with no tits to lick in the case of needing a tit to lick if it was a case that you would need a tit to lick, otherwise you would need a tit to suck. In which case there would be a tit to suck which was a big one, which is obviously better than a small one. Which is nice.

If you can't tell we've been to a beer festival, which was good.

< Is this Tom when he's split up with his nice lady?

< Is this Vermin when he realises he is gay?

Eh?

How do you measure a hangover?

I've just got out of bed Stu, note the time, 2:47

[Stu]

I am currently processing last nights pictures, I took 327, many of which are of us measuring stuff.


BTW, a weetabix is 50mm x 93mm x 15mm - thanks.

[Chrislong]

You can measure a hangover with this simple formulaaaah.

(Number of units of alcohol consumed) x (amount spent in pence) / (number of minutes spent drinking between first and last slurps)

< Rotherham, jumping the clubhouse at Southport
< Pritchard, bee in eye at Oswestry

We casused some right mayhem.

[jimarea51]

Wow that small pint glass that Northy's holding looks approx 1/2 the size of a normal one...

Can you confirm this is the case

[Stu]

There were 38 different beers on, if we had had a pint of each we would have been dead.
The odd half here and there was the only way we were gonna get them all in.

[Oscar]

38 beers !! Pahh, childs play. at the Oktoberfest I recently went to there were 78! plus ciders and perries making it well over 100.
Ok I only actually tried about 10 but...........

Beer festivals are ace, need to go again soon.

Long live CAMRA

[Chrislong]

All this talk, and now I really can't wait for the Belgium GP!!!!
